i swore i wouldnt speculate but i only made that promise on twitterx

peep the last emoji used in each caption - those are probably the s4 arcs

viktor - 🍺(beer) - camaraderie, full 'bro'-ness, or a turn to reliance on alcohol? he doesn't have powers anymore; would he find it good that he won't blow up the world, or bad because he's ordinary?

luther - 🕺(dancing) - celebration? relaxation? maybe he finds sloane, or its a cover for not outright describing his arc. luther's also known for the crab move he does too.

diego - 📦(box/package) - new job? but it doesn't track, if he's back in vigilante gear. dad package? dad zone? a want to move out of hargreeves city? that last one is a maybe, but also unclear

lila - 🍼(baby bottle) - mothering, that baby for sure lived. i'd hate it if that's what she's reduced to, but i could get behind it if her arc was moving on from her own mommy issues with the handler. maybe it shifts her character, with someone else to care for – i hope she gets a scene with allison

allison - 👩‍👦(mom and child) - mothering 2, for an older kid, claire for sure. her actions and decisions will be family-oriented, something to finally keep her kid. she could be at odds with anyone from last season, but claire is what she'll stand for. (again, praying for a herxlila scene)

klaus - 🧽(sponge) - he's clean !!! and for sure levelling up further, or spiralling in. comics fans have gone on for years about bare feet and levitation, and maybe we'll finally get it.

ben - 🔒(lock) - maybe his true persona is locked? or he's locking himself away? we're still unclear as to whether this is Umbrella or Sparrow Ben, but the season could probably make that very point clear when it airs

five - 🕵‍♂️(detective) - detective mode !! they'll relegate five to being the brains of the operation once more. maybe he'll investigate the new universe, or reginald's motive and power himself.

reginald - 🧠(brain) - the key mind of this world. he programmed it, therefore he reaps his own rewards. we don't know yet how he's designed this world.

august 8 when i get you !!!1!

Am I the only one that thinks Klaus being a germaphobe in s4 wouldn’t make any sense?? are we talking about the same Klaus? The same Klaus that practically had to be dragged out of the Void in s3? Who was perfectly content to stay there for the rest of eternity? and the only reason he decided to come back to the living was bc Luther convinced him to help the family, not bc he himself wanted to live?? The same Klaus, who when greeted with “we thought you died”, responded with “if only”???

Like I get how death would seem more ominous now that he’s mortal, but he literally just found out he was immortal. He’s lived his entire life before Hotel Oblivion believing he was mortal, and even knowing that he could die, he acted with no regard for his own life. Hell, he welcomed death with open arms on multiple occasions. I don’t see why that would suddenly change, especially now that he has a better understanding of the Void (and could potentially find Dave or umbrella Ben there).

If anything, I feel like he would be more inclined to go the Void considering he finally got a grasp on the powers he’s feared his entire life, only to get them taken away. He finally found a bit of purpose, a way to be useful to the family that constantly pushed him aside, and now…

Thinking thoughts

#I dunno man #I know it’s just speculation though so ig we’ll see #FUCK IM SO EXCITED #i need a trailer immediately #the umbrella academy #tua #tua s4 #tua s4 speculation #klaus hargreeves #I don’t think I’ve ever written a post this long 😭😭

[run-of-the-milf]

Gonna say something that'll piss off a lot of the tua fandom.

Klave is not going to be endgame. Dave is not magically coming back. His story was sad and their love was beautiful but the character's purpose was served and now he's gone. He taught Klaus so much and Klaus has grown and grieved and carries his memory always. But Klaus knows he's never going to have that again.

Klaus is different from Viktor and Allison - he isn't trying to change the world to get what he wants back. He already tried to get him back and it only made things worse. His whole character development and grief process has been lightyears ahead of his siblings. He knows death and he's learned too much to think he can play god.

It would be lovely for Klaus to have another romance in s4, but I don't think he really needs one.

[currentlyonstandbi]

okay call me cynical but i'm at that point where i want five's story to end with him dying. i know a lot of people are probably going to disagree with me because it's going to feel like a slap in the face for him to die after everything he's gone through but i just feel like him having a bittersweet ending is way more satisfying to me than some wishy-washy 'everything worked out and they all lived happily ever after' no consequences kind of ending. i want a five who spent years trying to save his family from dying, always being the one to survive, always being the one left alone at the end of everything, to die saving his family. i want a five who realises it's him that's been causing their fates this entire time, that it's always been him, that five is the apocalypse because his messing with the timeline had made such a mess of things that the universe tried to take the hargreeves out of the equation entirely. give me a five who finally realises the only way to save them is to take himself out of the equation instead.

#yeah @ me for this one okay but im so ready for him to die in s4 #my end game hopes are still five sacrificing himself to save his family and somehow fix the whole timeline #and right before the end credits we see the rest of his family in a restored 2019 outside the academy mourning his loss #and in the background we see a flash of blue and a 13 year old boy in a very familiar school uniform stumble out #roll credits #the umbrella academy #tua #tua s4 #tua4 #number five #number 5 #five hargreeves #either give me this or give me ALL the hargreeves dying and five realising he could never save them #and the best he could hope for was to die along with them #give me a 'life is strange' type approach to messing with timelines to save the people you love #tua s4 speculation

UMBRELLA ACADEMY S4 CONCEPT ART ???? WHO DO WE THINK THIS IS

#the umbrella academy #tua #umbrellaacademy #umbrella academy #theumbrellacademyedit #tuas4 #tua s4 speculation #umbrella academy s4

[tinned-beef]

so has luther been hitting the gym or does he get his old body back?

he’s even wearing the fingerless gloves he wore throughout the show, and those forearms can not be normal

it doesn’t make sense though? even if the brellies do get their powers back, luther doesn’t need his ape body to use them?

oh shit wait…

klaus has his hand tattoos back too????

do they go back to their original bodies/timeline? so much to think about…

An analyse of Umbrella Academy s4's posters (beware of s3 spoilers, ofc)

Hi! Today, the official Umbrella Academy Instagram account published season 4 posters, and since I'm very excited about this, I'm gonna try to analyse the posters, or what I can tell about them.

It's going to be long so grab a snack if you want / can, put on a cool playlist, and let's dive down! I'm going to do it poster by poster, in the order it was posted, from the oldest post to the newest (so not in numeral order).

We can notice that the characters are cut in two, the Portal way.

Anyway. First of all: Viktor !

Ngl, I had a moment when I saw he had the masculine uniform.

But past my joyful moment, my mind went racing so fast I couldn't keep it down, I had to share my thoughts (even if there may be only one person reading me, but whatever).

First thing first, it's interesting that the first one isn't Luther but Viktor, who is, the main character of the show (or at least, that's how I see it). Or a least the most important one. (if the last scene is Viktor ending his reading of his new book, about his siblings, not only would it be a fucking good epanadiplosis but it would make me cry the hell out of me)

After all, the show open with him, following him. And nothing would happen if it wasn't for him. He's the one trying to get the family stick together, and (unwillingly) starting apocalypse (twice or thrice, shit happens).

Let's focus on the poster now. On the left, we have a clothing reminding us of the Umbrella Academy days, or rather the "how it was before the show", except they are adult, and Viktor is here shown post-transition (and not pre-, as he was in the first two seasons). What does that mean? Fuck if I know. That being said, I think it have its importance (if they wanted to put children instead, they would have, wouldn't they?). However, we can note that he is not wearing neither the boy shorts (nor girl's skirt, for obvious reasons), but some secretly third option, aka a grey pant (is it the sport pant?). He is standing out himself, as a trans man (not wearing a skirt, yet not wearing the boy uniform either, as if he wasn't fully in that category somehow? idk).

Viktor's posture is straight (lol), and I associate it with being calm, obedient (he listen to everything Reginald says (ex: take these pills), and since Reginald is perceived as a father figure, it makes sense that Viktor wants to obey him, maybe hoping he (Viktor) will be loved and recognized as valuable). And also with being like a puppet. Or a muppet. The point is: He's not free of his movement, he doesn't have free will.

His face doesn't look happy. Nor sad. Just... neutral. He's just... there.

On the right, we can't see his face, yet his posture seems way more relaxed! He's wearing casual clothes, more modern ones, adapted to the world without powers they're now seems to live at the end of season 3.

His looks reminds me of the one of Tyler Ronan from Tell Me Why, a game by the studio Don't Nod (I fucking love that game). Both characters are trans man.

(This are pictures of Tyler. I had to restrain myself because we're not here from ma boi Tyler) (I have way too many pictures of that icon)

Anyway. Casual clothes. Blue, like the uniform. I won't analyse that, this post is already long enough.

Tbh, I haven't saw again the last episode of season 3, so I don't remember if it was the clothes they were wearing or new ones.

Also, Viktor is holding an umbrella in his right hand, probably a reference to the Umbrella days. Like, it's a part of him, he can't leave it behind, he physically have it with him (even if he doesn't have the power).

And the Umbrella is closed, unlike the ones from the previous seasons's posters.

Like, season 2's were opened (and full), and season 3's were opened and damaged (and they were hiding the protagonists' faces, showing implicitly the influence of the academy on them).

Next one, Luther !

We almost can see his face on the right!

But anyway, let's start by the left. Luther is walking, straight, in what could be either a military walk or a relaxed one (? don't quote me on this please, I can't explain). His posture screams "confidence" and "I'm number one, I'm a leader, follow me!". Or something like that, I'm no posture reader, just someone who watched way too much police and detective shows. He's wearing the Umbrella uniform (and it's so fucking weird to see it on a grown ass man!). His hair are cut short.

On the right, he's wearing a more casual look. There's something going one with his arm muscles, but I can't be bother to search what. His hair are longer than on the left. He is wearing gloves and an umbrella, and walking shoes. His umbrella is cutting his name (does it have some symbolism? Maybe.)

He's still wearing blue (like Viktor), even if it's a different kind of blue (and it kinda fit him).

Nothing more to add. (yes, I have my favorites, and despite liking Luther, I won't kill my eyesight anymore than necessary for details).

Next! Diego!

Let me preface this by saying that it's so fucking weird to see him in that uniform. On the left, he's walking like a good little soldier, following the leader.

On the right, he's the embodiment of a relax guy who can (and will) definitely yeet you out of the picture if needed. He's not wearing anything casual. It's more like a killer / soldier clothes, with his precious knifes.

DOES HE HAVE A MUSTACHE????

He's holding the Umbrella on the shoulder, as if he can't be bothered with it (and/ or he's gonna use it as a weapon).

Next! Not number 3, but the one who's linked to Diego! Lila!

Love that she's officially "Lila Hargreeves".

The left outfit is like the one she had in season 2 when she was with the Handler and stuff about her past was revealed (so interesting and meaningful choice of outfit). Her heels are thin, as if she wasn't stable (with her life situation and all).

Yet, on the right, her heels are thicker, more stable to move (she's more free to go).

Her clothes are modern and the flowers fit her really well, I might say. Her hair are put up, like the active badass woman she is. They're brown again, and not white/ blond anymore, it's more natural (I can't really argue, my hair are currently pink).

She overall looks like a business woman, with a casual chic.

She too, is holding an umbrella, which make her fully part of the family. She hold it casually.

Next, another girl: Allison.

Ngl, I'm no big fan of hers, so this will be short.

On the left, she's confidently wearing her UA (Umbrella Academy) uniform. Her hand move don't really feel natural (saying this as someone who sometimes draws human beings). Her hair are like the one from season 1.

On the right, she looks like a business woman and a mom. Her posture looks aslo determined, while relaxed. She have business to do, and no one will stop/ prevent her from doing so!

Girl power and all that.

(I'm trying, I really can't stand how her character was wrote during season 3)

Neeeeext! Let's go with one of my fav, Klaaaaaaus!

I have to say, it is criminal that a) his hair are short on th right side (loved his long hair) and b) where's the skirt?! He slayed in it! Anyway.

On the left, his walking looks very mechanical, as if he was a machine, a robot (lol) (I won't do any joke about Grace). Yet, his posture his not natural (no one walks naturally torso in one way and legs in another, if that makes some sense) (that reminds me kinda of the extravagant way drag queens walk on the runaway, for shows, but I may be extrapolating a little).

His eyes are closed. Why are his eyes closed? I'm scared. His face is still like the one of a dead person. Resigned. Accepting his fate. But after all, Klaus had always been closed to death, more or less metaphorically speaking, as he can see ghosts (= dead people, or what remains of them).

His hair are all over the place, reminding the crazy days he had to get fucking blasted to avoid said ghosts.

Right side is colorful. He's beauty, he's grace, WHERE ARE HIS HAIR?! No but more seriously, cutting one's own hair symbolise change in many culture, and more specifically letting go of the past, embracing new beginnings, and/ or undergoing spiritual or personal transformations. I have no idea how to interpret that.

He seems to float, to ascend (plz don't kill him). He is bare foot (bare feet? idk) (fun fact: in the comics, he could only use his power when sober and with bare feet) (I won't go down the rabbit hole of barefoot symbolism and its link with death, I'm not mentally well enough to do that).

He his wearing a yellow coat with flowers (flowers, like Lila!). Yellow is associated with joy, fest, sun (and Klaus is a comic relief, a feel good sunshine character), and flower, life. (again, plz don't kill him)

What reinforce that idea of tragedy is that the umbrella he's wearing is the only one who isn't black: it's the umbrella he was holding during Reggie's funeral in s1. Plus, he's holding it with three fingers out. What's the meaning of three? Idk. Maybe it’s for Allison? Maybe it has a link with God (the Christian one)? Yk, Holy Trinity and all that. After all, doesn't Klaus met God (the little girl in the afterlife) regularly?

Does that look good or bad for Klaus? No idea.

Speaking about looking good, Ben is back, alive. I won' t go far enough to say "well", but he's alive.

On the left, he's standing straight, walking in a unnatural posture. Following only.

On the right, he bent (idk why tho). His clothes are casual (and looking alike the one Viktor had been wearing during s3). His umbrella also cut his name (like Luther's). He's a Vans' boy!

(please, no mustache for him)

We can't see if he's wearing glasses or not.

Last of the Hargreeves kids (if you count Lila as one, and if not, last one of the power-gifted Hargreeves): Five.

On the left, his posture is haughty. His hands are in his pants pockets. He know what he wants, he is very sure of himself, maybe because he thinks he is better than everyone (he can think that, given what happened) (some might even say he have a bratty attitude, but I'll answer, well have you seen him during season 1???)

(my personal theory is that he is bend forward to be smaller on the left than on the right)

On the right, he left the UA uniform for a more formal suit (some call it 'the grandpa / old man suit'). His hair are longer.

He's walking down like he had no shit to give anymore (he doesn't) and he's ready to throw hands (he totally his).

HOLY (S)HIT HE'S HOLDING THE UMBRELLA IN HIS RIGHT HAND! Why? Why is he te only one wearing the umbrella on the other hand? Is it to accentuate his difference with his siblings (+ Lila)? Is it to show how differently he see his time at the UA an how differenlty he uses his powers? I mean, given he didn't spend as much time in the UA as the rest of them, ofc his vision and perception of the UA is different. Even his vision of time is different.

And now.

BEWARE! THE REGINALD JUMPSCARE! (or is it scare jump? Anyway, I've been working on this post for more than an hour and a hlaf, plz be indulgent, it's late and the day had been long)

On the left, we see the whole umbrella for the firs time on these posters.

Reggie is wearing blue (reminding of the UA uniform). He is young looking, and seems well assorted (who tf have two jacket pockets on the same side tho?)

Edit: his suit is actually more lilac/ purple, which is a color hard to dye (so it costed a lot and was reserved for royalty / rich ppl) (before industrialization and the use of chemical products for clothes dye; and we know Reggie arrived/ was on Earth on 19th c., so during the industrialization)

On the right, he's old and wearing a brown suit. Brown can symbolize the Earth. Earth can provide and ppl are depend on it to eat and therefore survive. In a way, he was a Earth for his children, as they were dependent on him (does that makes him a good father? Absolutely not!). (that thought, of Reggie being a Earth, is funny given he is an alien / an extraterrestrial)

And if you put them all in order, you get :

(notice how Klaus's picture / posture melt greatly in Five's?)

And that's it! Damn, that was long. Don't hesitate to let me know what you think about all of that in the comment!

[cryptidcave-dweller]

Y'know maybe I was too harsh on Five in an earlier s4 speculation. He may not have the power of teleportation anymore but he does have the power of teenager with none of the anxieties an actual teen has. He hotwired a time traveling briefcase using himself on probably the basis of "they work the same way" and it worked. Whatever solutions his adolescent brain with a senior citizen consciousness in the driver seat has is going to be chaotic but surprisingly functional. He's going to have the universe prescribed breakdown eventually for sure. But he might be able to take care of himself enough not to end up in any facility.

#the umbrella academy #tua s4 speculation #I still think it'll make more sense if he end up in juvie or a mental health clinic cuz it makes sense #But Five has been able to survive worse #He might not be overwhelmed by being forced to socialize considering he's been doing okay all things considered #Yes this is because of that one photo of five in a new tie #Also #tua s3 spoilers #To those who haven't seen the final episode yet #rambles

[starcloud-nova]

the thing i’m most afraid about for tua season 4 is that they’ll undo the power loss immediately and the plot will be about something else entirely

#just like they did with allison’s voice #diego’s love for eudora #luther’s supposed big apology to viktor #the handler’s death #ETA: i totally forgot about them introducing the most interesting and cool and epic part of five's powers in the end of s2. #and just. NEVER AGAIN!!!! #come ON the seconds of time travel thing was LITERALLY the best part of the season #ETA 2: diego’s ability to control bullets/other weaponry like in that final battle #tua #the umbrella academy #tua s4 speculation #i’m sorry but they sort of have a history of doing things and then taking them back
